Police Beat: Ann Arbor police investigate alleged assault

Ann Arbor police said they were called to an assault in progress between roommates at a home on the west side Wednesday night.

Officers responded to the home in the 600 block of Louise Drive at about 9 p.m. and were met on the porch by a 40-year-old man who said his roommate and roommate's friend attacked him when he returned home, reports said.

The man said he ran into another roommate's room after being punched in the face several times and that both men followed.

The attack continued inside the room and when that roommate, a 47-year-old woman, tried to intervene, the third roommate, 67, struck her in the head with her own cane, he said.
